Beijing, June 7 2017

• Demo of model predictive controlProject: DOCPCC (SINTEF, TCM, NTNU and Cybernetica)

• Solvent testingProject just started: External client

• Non-aqueos solvent testing (cont.) Project: RTI-NAS-PILOT (RTI International and SINTEF)

• Absorber aerosol test campaign

Flue gas pre-treatment testing

Project: Aerosolve (SINTEF, TCM, NTNU, Uniper, TNO,

Engie Road CCS)

• Continuation of Aerosolve and DOCPCC

for the CESAR1 solvent systemProject: Part of ALIGN-CCUS (start August 1, 2017)

Ongoing and near future pilot campaigns

• NMPC control functionality

integrated with existing control

system at Tiller

• When active – some parameters

are controlled from this unit

• The software has been

successfully tested for 4 weeks in

April/May

• The same tests will be conducted

at TCM in June/July

DOCPCC – ongoing project

• Real flue gas pilot scale membrane test

facility – good flexibility in testing various

membrane modules and their

configuration with changing operation

parameters (flow rate, P, T, etc.)

o Recently confirmed a state-of-the-art membrane

developed with NTNU and sold license to use its

related technology to USA

• Real flue gas lab-bench scale membrane

test facility – even wider flexibility,

especially high pressure and high

temperature also with changeable flow

rate and membrane modules, etc.)

o Under construction, to be operable in summer of 2017

• Monitoring and mitigation of aerosol

related solvent emissions in post

combustion CO2 capture

• Project partners: SINTEF, TCM, Road

CCS, NTNU, TNO, Uniper, Engie

• Co-funded by the Climit-demo program

• Modelling, measurements, pilot- and

demo test campaigns at SINTEF and

TCM

• Status: Kick-off meeting last week

AEROSOLVE-project

6

• Phase Doppler Interferometer (PDI)

• Electrostatic Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI)

• Condensation Particle Counter (CPC)

• Collecting Aerosol Filters

• In-situ impactor aerosol separation

• Improved FTIR

• SINTEF prototype Mark1 for online

measurements of solvent and trace gas

compounds (nitrosamines, degradation

products) in gas, solvent and waterwash

Further strengthening of instrumentation for aerosol measurements

7

• Library of process unit models

established, can be utilized in

many applications

• Library of many solvent systems

(various thermodynamic models

and system properties)

• CO2SIM steady state simulator at

present, plan to extent to

dynamics

• Has been invited to be member of

the CCSI2 Industry and Academic

Stakeholder board
